Plenty of sunshine Sunday

SYRACUSE, NY (WSYR-TV) – It was a nicer Saturday, and the improvements continue into Sunday too, but how are we looking for the eclipse on Monday? Find out below…

Yes, even nicer on Sunday!

More in the way of sunshine returns on Sunday as central New York dries out after a considerably long period of unsettled weather and more clouds than not.

Along with more sunshine returning on Sunday, highs climb to more seasonable levels in the low to mid 50s for all, except up near the Lake Ontario shoreline and hills where readings likely don’t exceed the upper 40s to around 50.

Some clouds on Monday

While eclipse day had initially been looking good earlier this past week, the trend Friday into Saturday isn’t as good with more high clouds expected to build in Monday afternoon for much of CNY.

In addition to the upper-level clouds, some mid-level clouds may obscure the eclipse at times. Make sure to keep checking back with us as we approach Monday.

Highs Monday will be within a few degrees of 60, so pretty comfortable for early April in CNY.

Warming trend continues Tuesday

After reaching the low 60s on Monday, high temperatures will climb all the way up to around 70 on Tuesday with a mix of sun and a few clouds.

Keep in mind, the average high is in the low 50s for this point in the month of April.
